2027 List Management

[Auntie.Gerald]

sorry, 2028 12 and 35, should help us in our 2032 Premiership window

I hope these go to secure a player

Why don’t u see these picks as possible trade value and only draft ?

Im praying they are trade value, and in the next 48hrs

Dekoning seems the only likely option

[imuninformedtwo]

I would rather have got a player involved, and who knows, we might be eyeing off someone with the picks we’ve now accumulated. There’s a bit of me thinking the deal got done early as we have something in mind.

But, what the deal does do is guarantee we have the cap space to retain or match a bid on Chad and Tom McCartin next year, and essentially restock the draft hand that came from recruiting Charlie.

As for Blakey, hope you turn into Jacob Kostanty. @@@@ for brains.

Tom Mitchell said about right on trade radio

he also said Swans squeezed and I’m kind of in alignment with that if true

and if trades are happening the next two days that could be a great deal and replenished vs what given up for our Coleman Medalist brought in last trade period

will Serong shift off the wing and at 193cm be a strong HBF?

is Snell and or Andrew more ready than we think to finally slot into our backline

there many pieces that have no clarity just yet re how we navigate 2027 and 2028 window

i truly believe like we did with ROK and Papley it would have been a no deal unless we have serious upside replacement options

[UUaswan]

I wonder how many times Pick 3 will be waived at us for Warner in the next day

Pick 3 and a 2028 3rd should do it...... with us sending picks back of course

Well, I guess your easily pleased, I just can't see how this represents value, Dekoning seems the only player with value left at this stage we probably give up pick 6 for him

Nick Murray (ex Giants Sydney player)

contracted end of 2027

if we can give more than North and equally Nick is keen to move to Sydney then if is in the mix it could be interesting given Melican so so, Hamling a make shift fix and Rampe maybe not a 2027 player

as well as Blakey moving on

Don’t get it unless there’s something else coming. Surely we are in a strong position to say “ this, or nothing”. But in fairness, let’s wait until tomorrow before we make a final judgement. If nothing further transpires, we should write a letter to the Club saying “ Please explain!”

If this isnt part of something else we should be looking for a new List Manager too

3*x AA, 26yr old
I dont even need to look at the AA squad but I would do that deal for any one of them at the same age

[UUaswan]

Be a struggle to see Geelong do us any favours too after us supposedly not wanting to deal with them for Blakey

[Roadrunner]

So the Lizard’s gone and we have pick 6. Question is : do we stuff this up in the draft, or trade it now for a player? We will know soon enough. As for the future picks we receive, hard to place a value on them as most draft picks take a few years to develop, if at all, though of course we could get lucky.

I’m sad to see him gone but part of me says that if a player is so determined to leave, we have to let him go and try to get the best deal we can. In this instance I’m not sure if we have but as I said above let’s wait until tomorrow night. But we should ask questions if nothing happens!

[UUaswan]

At the very least trade 2028 1st and a Future 2nd for Ports pick 5

[Roadrunner]

On reflection, maybe there’s more to the Blakey saga that the club knows, and hence they are/were not over keen in keeping him. He certainly complained about his treatment, when none of the other 4 did. So it’s possible that the $$’s turned his head and he used the sanction as an excuse! It’s a good conspiracy theory in any case and I get the feeling the club was not happy with him and thought his behaviour was disruptive. Totally different then to the Paps and ROK situation if this was the case.

Nevertheless , we should have screwed Norf harder!!

Not yet
i haven’t gone early

I think the club extracted as much as it could. Seems from the outside that Nick was turning into, if he wasn’t already, a disruptive influence. All be it he is an a grader as everyone has said. There comes a point where enough is enough.

I remember reading somewhere where Paps commented on the proposed Blakey trade - where Paps had made a dig at Blakey’s proposed trade to North. Seems this all has brought it to a head. Do you let a wound fester? The other 4 boys have accepted their punishment. Maybe it is a play to keep the Chad and Tommy Mc for next year. More in the kitty to keep them.

Bring Carmichael back from the Dogs and essentially we would have replaced that need.

Will be interesting if we have an option for the draft now and what our plans are there.

Don’t forget everyone that Chris Keane did really well last year with the talent that was brought in.
